REVIEW: Maybelline Baby Lips Electro - Pink- UK

 Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Pink
 
 
The Maybelline Baby Lips Electro series hit the stores on July 1st in the UK, having read hype and excitement about these products, I decided to go into Superdrug on the 2nd and buy one for myself.
My first impressions in store; I noticed the section where they were on sale straight away, they were hung up on a cardboard rack thing with bright colours, you couldn't miss it. I had seen 5 colours in the series all over the fashion blogging world, but was slightly disappointed when my local store only had two types of the lip balms. The two colours were the ones I was most interested in, however I did want to compare all 5.
 
 
 
 
The two colours were quite similar, pinks. The one I chose is hot pink, whereas the other one was more coral pink. Since I couldn't swatch in store, I chose the safest option, hot pink, because I knew it matched my skin tone. For the price of £2.99 I can't complain, as these bad boys are certainly a daily must for me! I love the price, its so inexpensive and worthwhile!
 
The lip balm moisturises my lips and tints them so well at the same time! It also gives my lips a nice smell, its divine! The smell is delicate, but to die for! I always smell it before I apply.

The colour is lovely and buildable, my lips are moisturised with just one swipe on each lip, the colour is certainly seen, but it is slightly lighter then when you build it up. I just simply build it up and it looks like a glossy/shiny lipstick, you don't even need that many swipes- who swipes their lip balm just once anyway?!
The colour does fade after awhile, but I still have a light tint and I just reapply when my lips are dry again.
 
I give the lip balm 5 stars out of 5, due to it being a perfect shade and everything I need for day to day use- such as school. Well done, Maybelline, I will certainly be rebuying!
 
 
 
What ones of the collection do you guys have?

REVIEW: Simple oil balancing moisturiser

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Quick Note~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm sorry I have not posted, I had a load of exams and been really busy. I have decided to close my YouTube and decided to concentrate on my blog first.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Recently, my oily zones of my combination skin have been really oily and shiny. I wanted a moisturiser that calmed down my oil zones and moisturised my dry patches. I didn't want a moisturiser that removed my oils (because of my dry patches), and I didn't want a rich moisturiser to add oils to my oily skin. So when I read this 'oil balancing' moisturiser, I thought why the hell not.
I got this at £2.25 due to a mix up, however the original price is £4.25.

 
If this was £2.25, I would re buy this every time. My oily patches has certainly balanced itself up and it's not as shiny as it was or as oily- mind you I have only been using it for 5 days. My dry patches have slightly improved. For £4.25, I might have to consider buying this again. My dry patches haven't changed much for a moisturiser.
 
You don't need much to cover your face, but there is about a third of air in the bottle.
I would recommend this for combo to oily and oily skin types.
 
Love
